THE STORY An estimated 45 million people in Europe have a
long-standing health problem or disability (LSHPD) 16% of men and women aged 16-64 in the EU as a whole
(Source: 2002 EU Labour Force Survey (LFS) and the 2004 EU Statistics on Incomes and Living Conditions)
Only 33% of these people are not restricted in the kind or amount of work they could do or their mobility to and from work Figures vary across EU members (10-50%), directly linked
to the level of prosperity and the assistance available Of those, 68% are in employment. While for the ones restricted, only 28% are in
employment8

and vocational training.9
